Yesterday I, and a couple dozen others, received an e-mail message
forwarded to us by Chuck Slusarczyk. It turned out that Chuck had
been hoaxed - the message was an Urban Legend.

As a student of Urban Legends I was aware of this story, so I replied
to Chuck, explaining the facts and providing a link to an explanation
)on snopes.com). Immediately Chuck wrote to all who'd received his
message, explained that it wasn't true, and provided the link
explaining the facts. He replied separately to think me for
informing him of the truth.

Now all of us are human, and we all make mistakes. But those of us
with morals, ethics and honesty do our best to correct any mistakes.

Unlike he whose name shall not be mentioned (and his puppet).

Gee thanks John but I felt it was the right thing to do and I appreciated the
clarification from you and Ron Wanttaja. I also learned about snopes.com as
well. The great thing about the RAH bunch is the wealth of knowledge that a guy
can tap into. Thanks to Ron and John for setting me straight on the Urban Legend
hoax.

I later checked snopes.com about another Urban Legend . I guess the resurrection
of Barnyard Bob at P'ville is a fact and the powers of Muzzle Loader are not
exaggerated as there was nothing there to debunk the story .Therefore it's not
an "Urban" Legend but the truth :-)

See ya
